I think there has got to be some truth to the rumors with Spurs because why else would Kenny all of a sudden start giving Sterling minutes. The reports i have read say that Sterling wants to be given more game time, so I guess the administration pressed Kenny on including Sterling in his match-day squads.

For us, supporters, it makes sense to give Sterling and other youngsters game time in the league since we aren't playing for much other than pride, but I think the situation has forced Kenny to play Sterling.

Hopefully I'm wrong, though!!!

Why else would Kenny play him? Maybe because the other game plans weren't working so he was trying something new? Or to support the comment he'd made less than a week earlier about giving young players time? Perhaps it was related to the Bellamy injury and our lack of wide players? Could it have to do with our league position and the low chance of 4th at this point?

Plenty of possible reasons outside of the insipid and lazy journalism.

He gets a lot of hate with people thinking he's already the finished product, but he should make the right wing position his instead of playing Henderson there. Raheem offers so much more offensively, and is just as good as Henderson defensively. Sterling just needs the experience, he has the talent.

Yeah, Henderson on the right is just to make up the numbers, well, so to speak. Hendo never plays like a winger when he's being played in that position - and I don't blame him, he's not a winger. But he does come to the middle'ish quite a bit when he's playing on the right, so it's not that bad, but I do think we'd be better off playing Sterling, Moses or Ibe on the right rather than Hendo.

He's not good enough for LFC right now, which is why he gets heavy criticism. But talent is definitely there and he's very young. A loan spell would do him a world of good next season. Hopefully to a shit PL team.

How is he not good enough when he has 2 goals, a penalty win (not sure if that counts as an assist) in 4 games? He's our best "wide" player after Coutinho, and Coutinho's been too busy playing in the centre so far this season. He should be starting in that right wing role infront of Henderson.

All Sterling really needs is confidence and he'll get that with first team experience.
